A complete change of tone from Fri. There was a total disconnect, no complains just surprised by the sudden change. The dialogue on the contract marriage and Khushi's case for a second marriage seems to have begun in earnest. Will the contract marriage be public knowledge or will there be a private ceremony once again?
It was about the 2 most important people in ASR's life; one who was looking for hope and the other had her hopes crushed from the events that unfolded tonight. Anjali who has always seen chote as her lifeline saw hope; her chote reassured her that nothing has changed. She is still the most important person in his life. Nothing or no one could change that fact. He narrates a beautiful incident she once mentioned.
"Aapko yaad he aapne kaha tha ki ek din woh ladki aayegi jiske jane se meri saanse ruk jayegi ". Her face lit up; her chote remembered the little things that they so fondly shared not so long ago...

"woh ladki khushi hein...me usse bahut pyaar karta hun"
A man who never shared his deepest thoughts was sharing one now with her. Yet again he proved that Anjali is the central figure in his life. This is exactly what she wanted at this point in her life. She needed to feel special and he made her feel special by sharing his innermost feelings with her. She was feeling desolate after her husband was thrown out and her bro was caught romancing the other woman. She thought he didn't care but tonight she felt secure. Her bro who has been her lifeline continues to be her biggest support. She instantly trusts him and dismisses her fears, gone was the insecurity. Will Anjali now change her mind about Arhi? Or will she continue to be self-centered?
Arnav didn't give her the whole truth, just the what she wanted to hear. Yes, he was less than honest when he said he didn't love her when they got married. Not completely true, maybe he didn't marry her for love would be a better way to put it, blame it on the writers. Our LG is honest....đ

Nani-Khushi conversation was beautiful. She had words of wisdom; it was ok for a married couple to spend quality time with each other. She has been a quiet observer and she has seen the change this girl has brought in their chote. A guy who had to be coerced to attend janamastami puja in his own home was eager to attend a satsang without a tantrum; a guy who never showed his emotions openly had laid a bed of roses for his wife... She was reassuring Khushi; Anjali has been her biggest supporter prior to Shyam revelation. At this juncture, she was trying her best to steer Khushi away from blaming herself and keep the family from falling apart.
Akash still not convinced that Khushi is innocent but decides to give his wife a break....đ But there was some truth to what he said. Gupta's should have revealed Shyam's truth to the R's.
"tum jab soti ho to tumse baat karna kitna aasan hota hein....."
He has finally realized, he can pour his heart out only when she is asleepđ He cannot help but gloat over her dash to hug him and accept him as her husband. How many times did he rub that in?
He was beside himself....The mighty ASR was thrilled that a small town girl had accepted him to be her pati....He holds on to her and drifts off as if to assure her, he would never let her go....

The last time he saw her packing her bags, he threatened her with the contract. This time he gave her his clothes too....He would follow her wherever she went, sign of things to come....

He never understood her but now he seems to have caught on...What an expensive bag couldn't do, a bag of chanas could. Her face lit up with that simple gesture....He had finally caught on to her choti-choti batein....He now knew what could bring a smile to her face...

Flirty ASR - Khushi gutano pe jaane ki kya jarurat thi yeh manne k liye ki tum mujhe apna husband maan chuki ho...

Yeh raha LG ka paagal prem...đ Payal had once said only a paagal can handle her...Well, that paagal has arrived....Who would disagree with me especially after this line -"Aaj mausam hai suhana..buaji ke ghir jaane ka hai bahana...what the what the what the..." Anything to cheer her up....He sensed something was a miss, his Khushi would never go silent not for so long....Even through all the pain, she still did her nautanki but now something seems to disturb her....He has an inkling but soon he will figure it out...
As for Khushi; hurt finally has taken over....She has been repeatedly hurt by those around her....She finally found love but that seems shaky...His world revolves round his Di, she is yet not assured what her place in his life is. She knows he loves her but she has been repeatedly reminded that it is temporary
She was once again resigned to the fact that things will never change but then he sweeps her off her feet with all the love & attention...But events of the previous night finally took its toll...Just when she had found love and just when she was finding some happiness; her hopes were crushed yet again...

She expressed her helplessness to nani, how she tried to fix things but only to ruin it further..... This time she stands between him and his family.....She has decided to move on coz she feels she doesn't stand a chance.....I don't see self-sacrifice here, I see a deeply wounded soul...She truly believes in spreading joy to those around her....Neither can those around her be happy nor can she....She makes a difficult choice....She quietly walks away....Love hurts!
